Buddy cop comedy.

By IGN FilmForce

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who seems to be associated with more newly announced movie projects than not these days, and Ryan Reynolds (Blade: Trinity, Van Wilder) are attached to star together in a buddy cop comedy called Blowback that has just been picked up by Disney-based Touchstone Pictures.

According to Variety and the Hollywood Reporter, the project is billed as "a modern-day Lethal Weapon" that centers around two San Francisco cops.

Screenwriter Sheldon Turner wrote the pitch and is drafting the screenplay. Turner wrote the script for The Longest Yard and is penning the Texas Chainsaw Massacre prequel, among other projects.

Blowback seems to be a somewhat evolved version of the film previously called Ride Along, which had been based at New Line.

The Rock can next be seen in Doom. Reynolds next appears in the comedy Waiting.
